Mr. President. today I introduce a bill designed to empower our immigration authorities to turn away known drug users and sellers. This bill would broaden the discretion of our immigration officers to exclude and deport those persons known to have possessed and used illegal drugs. It would also enlarge the class of drugs to be covered. thereby assuring that immigration officers will no longer be handicapped by antiquated laws and outdated definitions of dangerous drugs. We all know that one way to keep drugs out of the hands of our young people is to keep the drugs themselves out of this country. And one of the best ways to accomplish this goal is to keep the drug users and drug dealers out of the United States in the first place.
